Alleged Meizu m4 phone leaks in images

Image
A new Meizu smartphone, alleged to be the Meizu m4, has leaked online. The leak - which comes in the form of a Weibo post- shows the device's images from TENAA, although the official TENAA listing for the phone doesn't seem to be live yet. Aside from images, the Weibo post also reveals some information about the device, including a metal body (with some plastic parts) and an RMB 899 (around $135) price tag. It also says that the phone doesn't feature a fingerprint sensor. Needless to say, none of this has been officially confirmed by Meizu. So, until that happens or we get the official TENAA listing, take this information with a pinch of salt. Via

Twitter user Gustave M published the AppX file signed by Microsoft for the Windows Store, so it's easy to install (it only works on 64-bit devices, though). Find the download link in Gustave's tweet.

New Paint has a modern, tablet-friendly interface You can draw 3D shapes (couldn't find a way to do much with them, though) but my favorite feature is the 2D shapes. Several pre-made ones are available (free-hand drawing is possible too) and you can change the stroke. For the star, I used the star shape and told Paint to use the spray can tool for the outline, then gave it a fill color. There are no layers and o...

Looking like a chubby concorde, the VTOL takes off and lands vertically like a Harrier Jump Jet. It’s capable of flying for more than two hours with a top speed of 106 mph (170 kph) and can carry a load of up to 22 pounds (10 kg). Sony’s joint-venture drone company called Aerosense is developing the device as part of Sony’s strategy to expand into enterprise markets. Aerosense will cater to business by offering automatically piloted services such as inspecting infrastructure and surveying land. “By making it automated, drones will be considerably safer because many of accidents today are caused by human errors,” chief executive of Aerosense Hisashi Taniguchi said at a news conference, according to The Wall Street Journal. Taniguchi told The Journal that Aerosense hopes to generate ¥10 billion ...
